OT - Merry Christmas

It's well into Christmas morning here in Southwest Asia, and I would like to wish the MGoWorld a very Merry Christmas. May you all enjoy time with family and/or friends during this season. Thanks for the many laughs and good MGoMemories this year and football season. For those of you (which is suspect may be most if not all) that support the troops, thank you for supporting us while we are away from our families. Merry Christmas!

Oh, and one more thing: What kind of asshole sees a man hanging for dear life from a roof and decides that before he helps him, he's going to take a picture to post on the internet? That's one of those things that you don't think about doing until after you help him.

to all the MGo Posters. May we not forget the true meaning of Christmas. At the risk of getting banned to Bolivia, May God fill you with the Holy Spirit and Jesus give you peace of mind.

I never pray for a win or loss, I will pray that no one gets seriously injured in the Sugar Bowl. It has been a real pleasure joining the conversations over the past year. Hopefully we get a win next week and we continue to improve in the years to come.

Mrs MGoSoftball has agreed to go to Naw Lins so I will see you all there. Is it a maize out event?

This years M softball team will certainly be better than last year's team. We have RHP Sara Driesenga and LHP Hallie Wagner. This dynamic duo along with Stephanie Spierman will dominate the B1G. We may not end in the top 5 nationally as these freshmen learn the collegiate game. However, we certainly will make a strong playoff run.

As I sit 800 miles from home enjoying time with my family in Holland, MI I'm reminded of my other Michigan family, the Mgocommunity. Thanks to all for making games and game weeks more enjoyable and for making this one of the most civilized and intellectual sports blogs/message boards on "teh internets"

I'm also a veteran that just returned from deployment #8 last month. I definitely know how you feel an what you're going through my man. Keep your head down and do whatever you can to watch team 132 give us a late Christmas/New Years present in the form of a Hokie beat down. Be safe and Go Blue bro.

The bowl game is being played live on AFN on my day off here, so I will get to watch along with the rest of the MGoCommunity. Getting up at 0430 will be worth it, no doubt. Thanks for the encouragement.

I'm also in the Air Force my man. Security Forces for 16+ yrs currently stationed in Nellis (that's right, I'm getting paid to stay in Vegas) how bout you? What part of the world are you permanently stationed??

I wouldn't wish Nellis on anyone. Too much crime in the area for my young children to be near. I do aircraft mx analysis. Thankfully the analysis part of this blog is well done, or I'd be spending more time on here making statistical/analytical corrections than working on my actual analysis job.

Merry Christmas to everyone. Thank you people who served and are serving as well. You help make this day safe and special. I wish everyone a clean bill of health and joy this upcoming year. The joy will start off with a Sugar Bowl victory. Go Blue!

I'm overseas, and my days start at 0600, so I got Christmas before the rest of you. I hear NORAD "tracks" Santa every year if that's your fancy. Christmas almost felt real since my wife's package made it on Christmas day here. I'm debating whether I should create the "OT-Happy New Year" thread too. My MGoSenses are saying let that one rest. It would be unfair to steal 2 holidays nearly half a day ahead of the rest of y'all.

This may or may not be appropriate, but is something I need to do and this seemed like the best thread. I lost my father on Friday. He was a season ticket holder for just over 50 years. M class of 1964 with a bachelors and masters. he attended 8 Rose Bowls and unfortunately had a 1-7 record. Thank the lord the 1 was 1/1/98. He told my mom if anything happened, he wanted me to have his M class ring, which he cherished and I haven't taken it off since he passed. I hope everyone in M go community enjoys the holidays with their family. I love reading this site, but rarely post. This was important to me. Miss you and love you always dad.
